Actually, everyone who attended the party understood what was going on. After Tiger escaped that day, Lily and the cheerleaders fought directly, and Nata, who had long been watching the cheerleaders unpleasantly, waved her flag and shouted beside her, mixing oil and vinegar to make the situation almost out of control, and finally the party broke up unhappily. At the end of the show, Nata sighed as if unintentionally, 'Tiger can't mean it!' caused such a big thing, but he slipped away and completely messed up the party. Everyone pretended not to hear and quickly disappeared.

Everyone actually knows Tiger's personality, and although they all prefer to play with Jason, the person they admire the most is Tiger. Tiger used his training and competition attitude to guide everyone by word and deed, although he didn't talk much, but everyone saw it, so it was normal for Tiger to leave early. At the same time, everyone also understands Nata's personality, and they are also disgusted by her obvious provocative behavior, but for the sake of Jason's face, they all shut up and ignored it. Now it seems that Nata has succeeded, and the two captains of the team, one is absent from training without reason, and the other is serious from time to time.

The huge training hall was filled with the sound of "bang, bang, bang", which is normal, but the iron man is Tiger, which is not normal. Coach Benjamin also saw something, looked at Tiger, who was obviously out of shape, and directly gave him a half-day vacation and let him leave first.

Tiger also knew that he was in a bad state right now, and after gladly accepting it, he thanked the coach for his kindness, and then packed up and left the training hall. Everyone also sighed a lot, and thanked the coach who rescued them in their hearts, and it was good to be able to breathe freely.

Leaving the school, Tiger walked aimlessly down the street, keeping his head down but not looking at the road, allowing his two feet to lead him to a familiar place.

Looking up in confusion and looking at the surroundings, Tiger recognized that this was the same basketball court that had met Jason and them, and in the middle of the court stood a large black man who looked like a sculpture.

After Andy left, Jason came here unknowingly. He didn't understand why he was here, but standing on this familiar court, Tiger and Andy's words echoed in his head, and a familiar picture appeared in front of him, he was not good at thinking and recalling, he stood in the middle of the court like a sculpture, and let the memories bring him to that youthful period.

Initially met Tiger here, then worked hard together to get into the school basketball team, and finally he and Tiger succeeded, but Andy failed again, and here the three of them fell together, shouting 'to go to the NBA and create a big scene together'.

In his first year on the team, he and Tiger spent on the bench, with the exclusion of his teammates, Tiger's encouragement, and more desperate training. The next year, they finally became the starters, but unfortunately lost the loss. In the third year, they made a comeback, the joy of winning the championship, Tiger was really happy for him when he got the MOP, participated in the McDonald's Slam Dunk Contest, although he didn't win the championship, but he was recognized by everyone, his name began to be mentioned by more people, and he was welcomed by everyone in school, and then met the 'simple' Nata, and began to be busy dating, partying with new friends, and never practiced in the training gym again. And what was Tiger doing then? He is still trying to improve himself.

This year is the fourth year, and it is also his last year of high school, and he wanted to sprint with all his might, but the strong performance of the team, the words of praise around him, made him get carried away, and began to drink, smoke, club, party, these Tiger reminded him that it would affect his basketball life, but he forgot all about it. And what was Tiger doing then? He is strict with himself and self-disciplined to maintain his original life.

Then to this party, the invitation of the cheerleading team, Nata's proposal, disapproving of Lily's approach, but out of the mentality of watching jokes, he didn't stop it, and then Tiger left, and the party was messed up. Instead, he ran to question Tiger.

'Jason, I think you are the real core of the team, just like the experts say, without you, the team will never win the championship, Tiger's MVP is not deserved' is because of Nata's words, so he began to have thoughts about Tiger in his heart? Is there an excuse to betray their friendship in the first place?

Countless Nata's words, intentional or unintentional, sounded in her ears again. When Jason listened to it at the time, he felt that the whole person was fluttering, but now in retrospect, the pictures that appeared in front of him were all Tiger training rain or shine, never interrupting to improve himself, self-discipline and restraint of life and rest, these are the secrets of Tiger's success, he has always known, but when he began to fall, he chose to ignore it.

Is this what you want to see me?' Tell me Jason, is this what you want to see me? Tiger's last questioning words appeared in his head, and Jason at this moment, all the emotions of chagrin, shame, and remorse poured out, he was not smart, but he was not a fool, not an idiot who did not understand good and bad. "No, I'm going to find Tiger, I'm going to find Tiger."

Jason looked up and muttered to himself in a panic, and the whole person panicked. But as soon as he turned around, he saw a black man standing there watching him on the edge of the court, guarding him from afar as before, but never forcing him or asking him, his nose was sore, and tears flowed down his face.

Tiger has been looking at the sculpture-like Jason for a long time, Jason is not a person with a heart, so he can't manage his expression well, looking at the various expressions on the sculpture's face, Tiger understands that this stupid big man is growing up, he is learning to think, Tiger doesn't want to bother him, so he looks at him from a distance, sees him look up in a panic and mutters to himself, sees him turn his head and burst into tears, Tiger steps to his side.

Reaching out with his right fist, he slapped Jason on the shoulder, then stretched out his palm and placed it in front of Jason. It's a gesture they celebrate and cheer each other on the pitch. Jason also stretched out his right hand, high-fived him, and then clasped together, and the two men collided with each other with their right shoulders. Jason stretched out his left hand, hugged Tiger's shoulder, and cried, "I'm sorry, Tiger!" That's not what I intended. I'm sorry! I was really wrong. ”

Tiger patted Jason on the back with his left hand and whispered, "It's all over Jason, you know you're more important to me than that." ”

Tiger's words made the ashamed Jason cry even louder, and at this moment he felt like an idiot, a pair of white hands, gently hugged the two people from behind, and joined them.

Andy thought about it, but he still couldn't worry about the two of them, and he planned to go to the training hall to see, and after being told that neither of them was there, he looked for Tiger on campus, and then suddenly thought of this basketball court full of memories, and when he arrived, he saw two people high-five, shake hands, and hug, and Andy, who was completely relieved, hugged two friends from behind to feel their joy and remorse.

I don't know how long it took, everyone's mood calmed down, and letting go of the two people, Andy put his hand in front of him and asked in a loud voice, "Do you remember our goal?" ”

Tiger and Jason looked at each other, folded their hands on Andy's, and the three of them shouted together, "We're going to the NBA and create a big scene." ”
